Carbon A.F.U. 
Hold Monthly Meeting 


Another meeting of the Carbon | 


local of the A.F.U. was held at 
the Scout Hall Monday evening, 
with a very poor attendance. At 
this meeting it was decided to 
rescind the former motion of ob- 
taining fifty cents from each 
member to form a sickness fund. 

A committee of seven was 
formed to obtain fifty cents from 
each member to pay delegates 
expenses to Edmonton, it being 
very necessary that three dele- 
gates be sent to the annual con- 
vention January 23 to 25. 

It was also decided to increase 
the membership fee from $1.50 
to $2.00 per member, so as to 
cover delegates expenses to the 
annual convention, district con- 
ventian, etc. 

Prior to adjournment, Mr. G. 
Appleyard was elected auditor 
for the year’s accounts. 

The next meeting will be held 
January 8th, at 8:00 p.m., which 
will be the annual meeting. If 
you have any praise or con:- 
plaints, make them then. It is 
important that ALL members be 
present at this meeting to elect 
the executive and the three dele: 
gates. 


More Current 
Magazines Wanted 


Since March last there has been 
shipped overseas an average of 
100,000 magazines a month from 
the various magazine depots 
across the country, military 
authorities in Calgary announc- 
ed recently. The Alberta quota 
is 4,000 a month, and has always 
been maintained or bettered by 
the magazine depots of Calgary 
and Edmonton who have worked 
faithfully and voluntarily at the 
task, 

The majority of these maga- 
zines are less than one month 
old when shipped. 

The magazines go via Red 
Cross to the Assistant Director 
of Auxiliary Services, London, 
England, who is responsible for 
their distribution overseas. 

More “current’’ magazines 
would be welcomed, and these 
can be left at any post office, at 
the Bay or Eatons, or any B.A. 
Station. 

In addition to the foregoing 
the Kinsman Club working in 
conjunction with the Magazine 
Depot, ship tons of magazines to 
the Navy League and Merchant 
Marine, These shipments are 
largely made up of less current 
magazines. 

Individuals may take maga- 
zines to any Post Office, where 
they are forwarded, without 
charge, to the nearest Magazine 
Depot, and are then despatched 
overseas. Individuals are not 
permitted to send magazines ex- 
cept by paying a subscription and 
the magazine is then forwarded 
by the publisher.

have all the reinforcements they 
could use. Whenever reinforce 
ments are lacking, men have to 
stay under fire longer than they 
should, so the risk of their being|& 
injured increases. 

But other kinds of reinforce- 
ments are needed too. Rein- 
forcements of foodstuffs and of 
every kind of weapon and muni-|% 
tion the soldier uses. Then to 
make these arms, weapons and 
munitions, reinforcements of 
money, too, are needed in great 
quantity. Patriotic civilians at 
heme, therefore, can do their 
share in helping, as far as pos- 
sible, to save the lives of the men 
in battle by providing ample food- 
stuffs and munitions, and all of 
us can provide the money, both 
by paying taxes and by buying 
bonds. 

There is one most important 
matter, it seems to me, ever to 
remember. If it were not for 
the gallantry of our fighting men 
we should have no farms, no fac- 
tories, no jobs and no liberty. 
Surely the least then that we, 
who live at home in safety, can 
do is to provide all the reinforce- 
ments we possibly can in the way 
of trained men, of munitions and 
of mopey.

Post-War Trade 


THERE IS CONSIDERABLE INTEREST at present In the prospects 
for post-war trade and for the future demand for the products of Canadian 
farms and industries. It is evident that other nations are also concerned 
with the matter of rebuilding their normal trade connections when the war 
is over, and there have recently been reports in the press concerning plans 
for expanding merchant fleets and developing trade relationships. In recent 
discussions on future world security, considerable attention has been given 
to the subject of trade relations, and it has been clearly 
shown that this, as in many other problems, there will have to be a 


new approach if we are to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past 
. * al e . 


international 
in 


Canada’s present position in regard to export 
trade {s extremely favourable, in fact the volume 


Much Exported 
of exports from this country has never been as 
From Canada great as it is now. Figures show that Canadian 


exports are at this time more than twice as much each year, as they have 
ever been in the past. We are reminded, however, that this prosperity is 
due largely to the war, and that eighty per cent. of our present export 
trade is made up of materials of war. Farm products, including butter, 


but when normal conditions return, it is thought that Britain may once 
more buy these products much nearer home. Food shortages in many lands 
have also created a need for wheat and other Canadian grain crops, which 
may not continue long after the war is ended.

It is apparent that if Canada is to maintain the 
present level of export trade, efforts will have to be 
To Prosperity made to hold as many markets as possible and to 
find new ones. One way in which to retain markets 

f agricultural products lies in continuously improving the quality of the 
goods which is exported, with the object of building a marked preference 
r them abroad. New markets can be created, in part, by finding new uses 
for our products This involves research, and there is a growing con 
ciousness in Canada of the need for greater emphasis on this important 
factor in national development. A recent announcement by the Minister of 
rade and Commerce concerning the establishment of a new laboratory 
Western Canada for work on the wider utilization of farm products is 
an indication of the trend in that direction, and it is to be hoped that further 
impetus may be given along these lines, in the interests of post-war prosperity.

Vocational Training 
Plays An Important Role Both In 
War And In Peace 
Now providing rehabilitation train-| 
ing for persons discharged for the 
| services, Canadian Vocational Train- | 
ing has been playing an important) 
role in civil as well as military life. 

From its inception up to May 30) 
this year, gross enrolment under the 
programme totalled 346,329. Of these, | 
222,642 had enrolled for training in) 
industry, 


tradesmen in the forces, 3,528 for hired

|out of the Dominion-Provincial War 
Youth Training Programme, conduct- 
ed under the Youth Training Act of 
1939. When this expired in 1942, the 
Vocational Training Co-ordination 
Act provided for the continuance of 
the types of training needed for the 
war effort. 

Training is given in_ technical 
schools, special centres and industrial 
plants. Projects conducted - under 
the programme include full-time pre- 
employment courses of from two to 
six months; part-time training, main- 
ly techneial, for persons already em- 
ployed in industry, to facilitate up-

material, said plans are ready for

fabrics of many types. | 
“Its value as curtaining material 
outstanding,” he said. “It can-

because it is non-cellular unlike 
cotton, for instance.”

Post-War Flying 


American Paper Mentions Two Facts 
On Civil Aviation 

Two facts international civil 
aviation should be kept in mind. First, 
the United States position as a 
world power entitles us to full con- 
sideration in the development of 
foreign routes, but the principle of 
reciprocity must still apply. In the 
long run, we cannot fly to foreign 
countries unless we accept the right 
of others to participate equitably in 
a developing new form of trans- 
portation. Second, generalities on 
international co-operation are mean- 
ingless unless the principle is applied 
to specific issues of trade and com- 
merce — as it has already been ap- 
plied in the world monetary agree-| 
ments at Bretton 


on 


Woods. | 
The American approach to post- 
aviation should be founded on 
these two facts both in the tem- 
porary allocation of world air routes 
now and in the later development of 
permanent international machinery.

Sugar Beets 


|Increase In Production Is Shown 


Over Last Year 
According to present estimates, the 
1944 production of sugar beets will 
be sharply increased over 1943. A 


|new sugar beet-growing area was de- 
| veloped 


in Quebec this year from 
which a harvest of 55,000 tons is ex- 
pected, Production in Southwestern 
Ontario, estimated at 125,000 tons 
this year, is nearly double the 1943 
crop. Alberta, at 338,000 tons also 
shows an increase which more than 
counterblances a decrease in Mani- 
toba. The total 1944 crop of beets, 
now placed at 608,000 tons is 28 per 
cent. greater than in 1943. 

Sugar beet lifting operations got 
under way in Ontario the first week 
in October under fairly favourable 
conditions. Of the two Ontario pro- 
cessing plants at Chatham and Wal- 
laceburg, only the latter will operate 
In Manitoba heavy Sep-

The Netherlands, Attlee said, has

Twenty-Five Thousand Aircraft 


Flown Across 


The Atlantic. 


Within The Last Four Years 


WENTY-FIVE thousand aircraft have been flown across the Atlantic 


from North America within the 


last four years, in the snowballing 


development of an idea which was considered impractical when the war 
began. The variety of planes flown to the fighting fronts in running up 


that amazing figure—almost half of 


it within the last year—range from 


Mosquitos that make the Newfoundland-Scotland hop in 61% hours to Liber- 
ators which fly regularly from Montreal to North Africa, 3,700 miles non-stop. 


Yet the oustanding part of the 
story of No. 45 (Atlantic Transport)

tension of flying routes to the point

had no tact. Opposite me was a

years ago for Western Canada was

it in every lecture he gave—with good 
results. I have a fyle in my office,

newspaper articles about Uncle Jack. 
He became one of the world’s best 
known men, and the King awarded | 
him the Order of the British Empire 
(O.B.E.) for his services to the coun- 
try. Not always thoroughly under- 
stood was the fact that neither Uncle 
Jack or his family drew salaries from 
the Migratory Bird Foundation Inc., 
which he founded, and that he donated 
the 400 acres of land on which corn 
is grown to feed the country’s birds.

on, why not send a donation of any) 


He predicted “in the near future 
armies within 300 or 500 miles of 
each other will be within range and 
that is going to alter the entire atti- 
tude toward war.” 

He visualized a war fought eventu- 
ally at a range of 1,000 miles, with 
the course

The Interplanetary Society was in- 
terested in rockets fcr travel and 
postal service to inaccessible places.

long enough for considerable develop- |

Explanations And Comments 


ing Enemy Planes 


The United States Navy disclosed 


that automatic sights keeping guns 
aligned on fast moving targets are 
a part of the answer to success in 
shooting down attacking enemy 
planes. PA 

The sights, operated on a gyro- 
scopic principle, the navy said, orig- 
inally were used on smaller guns. 


Subsequently they were added to 
equipment of larger anti-aircraft 
guns and:

each a pound and bade him trade, 
therewith till he returned. He did not

OUR COMPLETE 
SHORT STORY— 


PRISON OF 


MARRIAGE 


By MARCIA DAUGHTREY 


McClure Newspaper Syndicate 


They met at the Barkelows’ party 


on Friday night and they fell in love} 


with such headlong intensity that 
both were completely astounded—and 
somewhat frightened. 

On Saturday Jay and Chugi (short 
for Portugal where she was born of 
a pair of incurably globe-trotting 
parents) drove into the mountains on 
a twosome picnic and spent most of 
the day simply staring into each 
other's eyes. On Sunday they went 
to church and afterward drove down 
to the beach for a swim. 

“I've never felt like this before in 
my life,’ Chugi admitted breathlessly. 
“What has become of my fine eman- 
cipation, I'd like to know?” 

Monday night they dined together 
and discovered that they enjoyed 
identical tastes in focd; Tuesday 
night they went to a concert and ap- 
proved the same symphonies. 

Chugi said, “When two people fall 
in love like this, they have to be 
careful not to sacrifice their individ- 
ualities.”’ 

And Jay agreed. “The most satis- 
fying marriage is that in which each 
partner preserves the freshness of his 
viewpoint.” 


On Wednesday each anticipated the 


other's every action and word. 


On Thursday they were married! 


and Chugi said seriously, ‘We musn’'t 
settle down just to be Jay Elder and 


echo, or Chugi Elder and shadow. | 


That's what will happen unless we're 
very, very careful. We think alike, 
we talk alike, we share every mental 
quirk. So there's one thing we must 
do; we must have separate dates. 
Every Wednesday night will be dedi- 
cated to the preservation of our in- 
dependent personalities.” 

“Sounds like a sound policy to me,” 
Jay lied easily. “No questions asked 
afterward, either. Wednesday night 
will be a closed day between the 
Fiders, husband and wife.” 

“Right, Let's shake on it.” 

Jay leaned forward, “This is my 
way of sealing a bargain,” he said, 
thinking that nature must have been 
in a divine mood the day she ran 
Chugi’s gardenia-petal skin her dark- 
lashed blue eyes, and her incredible 
copper hair through the infant 
assembly line.

They told everyone about their 
Wednesdays. There were those who 
laughed, and those who frowned, and 
those who telephoned Chugi or Jay 
and said how about counting me in 
on your holiday-from-matrimony eve- 
ning? 

Jay, who had been brought up by 
a mid-Victorian aunt, shook his curly 
head at the telephone and said laugh- 
ingly, “Thanks for the bid but I’m 
already booked fdr three weeks.” 
Then he went to a movie alone, or 
took a male client out to dinner, or 
browsed through the old book shops 
down on Olive Street. Jay, as a 
smart construction engineer, knew 
when he had precisely what he 
wanted. 

And so did Chugi. But she was a 
restless soul. In addition to that she| 
was appalled by the closeness that 
marriage knit between two human 
| beings. She was being genuinely 
honest when she insisted that her, 
separate dates were only an attempt 
to keep from feeling stifled.

Seed Testing 
Purity Of Analysis And Making Of 
Germination Tests 
' Seed testing, as applied to labora- 
tories, is a general term which is used 
for two phases of the seed analysts’ 
work, namely purity analysis and the | 
making of germination tests. Modern. 
seed testing is a highly technical job | 
requiring much training, botanical! 
knowledge, good judgment, and last 
but not least in importance, endless 
patience. At certain seasons, labora- 
tory staffs are overwhelmed with 
work. Registered and certified seed 
growers have to get their seed passed 
sooner or later by the Plants Pro- 
ducts Division, Dominion Department 
of Agriculture. But many seed grow-| 
ers like to have it done later. | 

As pointed out by W. H. Wright, | 
Chief, Laboratory Services of the 
Division, this late sampling causes | 
serious congestion in the laboratories | 
with resulting delays, because there is | 
a limit to the number of staff that} 
may be employed and to the equip- | 
ment available. By having their seed 
cleaned and ready for sampling early | 
in the winter rather than in March 
and April, seed growers can assist in| 
| speeding up the work in the labora-| 
tories. In fact, the laboratories would 
like to receive many more samples 
before Christmas than is usually the | 
case. 

The object of the Seeds Act of Can- 

ada is to set up a yard stick for the 
levaluation of seeds to produce crops, | 
‘and the regulations are made in such | 
a way that they will be fair and just} 
to the producers and vendors of seeds 
and to the farmer who purchases seed 
to produce crops. The points of view 
|of the seller of seed and that of the 
purchaser are different. Both have 
to be considered, and in this con-!' 
sideration the work in the seed test- 
ing laboratory is to report the crop- 
| producing value of seed as accurately 
; as possible. 

Canada is fortunate, says Mr. 
Wright, in having one Dominion-wide 
law and seed laboratories which are 
under one administration and uni- 
|formly equipped. 


| They Knew | How 


|British Engineers Did Remarkable 
Job In Record Time 

British engineers have done many 
remarkable jobs during the war, but 
a job that was really a peacetime 
;necessity was undertaken recently 
| that merits the admiration of en- 
gineers in general. 

Outside London Bridge station on 
the Southern Railway is a large and 
busy cross-over. The time had come 
when it needed to be rebuilt to carry 
the heavy traffic that these times 
imposed upon it. The company's en- 
gineers put on their thinking-caps. 
| Outside the shops about five miles 
away is a field. The engineers laid 
out the ties on this field, fashioned 
the rail lengths and pieced the whole 
thing together. Every casting weigh 
{ing a ton and every tie was marked 
| with chalk. When this was done the 
; whole thing was taken to pieces and 
| loaded on flat cars in the exact order 
| in which it would be needed. 

One morning at 6:30 a gang of men 
set to work to tear up the old cross 
over. A small army of men in dif 
ferent categories of engineering were 
on the spot. At five o’clock in the 
evening the entire cross-over was laid

| Countered Buzz-Bombs 


Exhibition At Piccadilly Showed 
People How It Was Done 
For the first time since the buzz- 
bomb raids began Londoners have 
seen how the menace was countered 
through an exhibition at Piccadilly. 
Though secret defence weapons, 
radio-location apparatus, rocket anti- 


| aircraft guns and scale models of the 


latest jet-propelled fighters were re- 
moved by security officials a few 
hours before the exhibition opened, it 
still gave civilians a rough idea how 
the Royal Observer Corps, A.A. bat- 
teries and fighter and balloon com- 
mands protected them. 

Some of the exhibits had been 
displayed before during war savings 
drives and Wings for Victory Week 
but one new one was the “balloon 
parachute cable,” used to cut the 


| wings from flying bombs and con- 
| trolled by W.A.A.F. girls on the 
D.F.C, | 8round. 


The device comprises two para- 
chutes attached to a moored balloon 


the ®nd connected by a steel cable. When 


a buzz-bomb nears, the operating

Small Street In Toronto Has Reason 
To Be Proud 

Some persons are 
spirit of humility; others seemingly 
have to have it thrust upon them 
often to their secret hurt. Among 
the ironies of this war is the way 
events have at times produced 
humbling situations, struck at over- 
weening pride, and, oddly enough, too, 
have revealed human worth where it 
was not always expected to reside 

There is a little thoroughfare in 
Toronto named McGee street. It was 
probably not well known, but it is 
rapidly becoming so and deserves to 
be. Toronto should be proud of it, 
and probably is by now. McGee 
street lies in that vague region which | 
a shallow snobbery has been too quick 


blessed with a! 


to designate as “on the cther side of 
the tracks.” Those are fighting 
words, brother, and, remembering the 
cool advice of the Virginian, one had 
better smile when he 
Safer still, do not use them at all 
In seeking to relieve the acute 
housing situation in Toronto, its civic 
officials arranged to have temporary 
homes placed on McGee street for the 
families of service men The first

house had no sooner been erected 


when protests were raised. The site one yard of fabric 


was objected to as being quite un 
suitable for soldiers’ families; McGee 
street was declared, in fact, to be “a 
slum area.” 

That was too much for the resi- 
dents there. Their spokesman, Pri 
vate George F. Dickinson, of the 
Veterans’ Guard, makes it known 
that from the 58 houses on this little 
street have gone no fewer than 73 
men to perform active service in this 
war. Four have been killed in action, 
two others are cases 
Among those serving are two majors 
a captain and two sergeant-majors;

MOST OF US DON'T KNOW 


Hardly anyone —not even the publisher— 
knows how important a newspaper is to a 
community, 


The smaller the town or village, the more 
important the newspaper is in its economic 
life. its news, editorials and feature stories 
focus the interest of surrounding territory 
on the place in which the paper is published. 


This force and the force of advertise- 
ments by local merchants build an ever- 
widening trade area. This means more 
business, more money for schools, homes 
and churches—a bigger and better town. 


A town with a newspaper is a town with 
a future, The better the paper, the brighter 
the future. 
It deserves the support of every business 
man in that town, 
We are trying to make this paper 
worthy of our town. Your help end 
suggestions are appreciated.

NOTE REGARDING SPECIAL ADJUSTMENT OF TAXES IN 
RESPECT OF THE YEAR ENDED 30th OCTOBER, 1943 


The Minister of Finance has expressed the opinion that the transfers made in 
1943 to Contingent Reserve Fund from the earnings of this Bank were in excess 
of the reasonable requirements of the Bank. 

The management and the auditors of the Bank do not agree with the Minister 
in this matter but having been advised of the Minister's views and of his purpose 
to act in accordance therewith, we have estimated that approximately $2,200,000 
of such transfers must be added to income of that year for tax purposes. As a 
result the Bank will be called upon to pay additional taxes for the year 1943 
of a like amount under the Income & Excess Profits Tax Acts. Provision has been 
made from Contingent Reserve Fund for this tax liability, of which twenty 
per cent, or £440,000, will be refundable under the provisions of the Excess 
Probts Tax Act,
